Center in back: Ampex 601, and to the right, matching 620 amp. Left side is a Magnecorder set... The 601 can be a very sweet pre, from what I've read. Not so sure about the Magnecord - one article did claim gain in the neighborhood of 115dB possible though. And the 77 - plugged her in, and...

Now the question is, should I simply ship it off to be re-tensioned, and prettied up? Or re-cable it, and run with it? Pretty little deco 77b1 (I'm assuming it's a "1" - how would I tell?) Oh, and look - some other vintage goodies tagged along ;)

I basically 'hate' writing post such as this, but also very much trust the advice given (albeit with a grain of salt). So, here goes. Currently using an E-MU 1616m, "cutting my teeth" into the DAW world (from my old R2R stuff)... vocal mic choices currently used: AT4047 - Reslo Ribbon, (and...

Wow, you're pretty good to get that close by only studying the wave form! Actually kind of a dumb post - esp since I realized the file name I hosteed ;) (and until now had the file blocked - duh) But I was pleasantly surprised with the sound, and thought I'd share... Great for an 'effect' mic...

I've had this old uncommon mic in the closit for years - finally created a sound bite. TurnertestHollyNoc.mp3"]TurnertestHollyNoc.mp3[/URL] No eq, comp, or anything (and this was shortly after I rolled out of bed this morning - and with out any back-up, etc, so forgive) I was so happy with...

So, in re-setting my studio (from analog to digital) I'm needing (4) 20' balanced cable runs for the monitors, and same (although shorter would work) for my outboard reverb. Eyeballing a Canare snake: http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=60 I can get one of these in 8...

Ah - Switchcraft MN-11 series - isolated / enclosed. MN112B - that should work...

One of the front output 1/4" jacks has finally (after 20+ years) failed on one of my Ibanez AD202 delays. These are the type that have a black plastic 'shank', if you will, that insulate both signals from the metal front panel. I remember these same type on some of my vintage Altec gear - and...

I cleaned up the budget Otari MX5050BQII I drug home, and set about to run a basic series of test. Didn't take me long to encounter a problem. Play works - stop works - back to play - record seems to work, but... If I push FF, it just stays running at high speed, and the only way I can figure...

Well, the above number is no longer in service, but Aheadtek does have a new roller in stock for a mere $42.50 - seems reasonable enough, considering the bushing on mine is a bit loose. I don't have time before todays gig to mess with the unit, but hope in the next few days to get the tape path...

Messing with a 1/4" 4-track Otari I drug home a while back from the local junk shop. It's in visually great shape - on the rolling stand - I think I gave 10 or 20 bucks for it... All the meters light, and an old jazz tape that was on it plays through my headphones. Transport: basic quick check...

Looking for the best sound and solid drivers. I'll be mixing down to the computer from tape - then adding compression/mastering before burning to disk.

Wow, the Mia looks direct and to the point. Any way to control the output volume, so I can go direct from the card to the monitors? Also wonder about the Emu 1212m. My reading - searching Google, seems to have great feedback on SQ - yet lots of users who hate - or don't get - the patching...

I'm looking for recommendations on a 2 channel interface: Balanced line in / Balanced line out decent converters / solid reliable drivers Something from a few years back which will run on my P4 2.4 Suggestions? Current setup: basics Tascam 388 - recently tuned, head re-lapped, etc Event...

I have a question about a television advertising jingle I'm working on. It is a 30 second spot, with the "jingle" sung on the last 10 seconds. I'm recording live to tape - mixing to stand-alone burner - final touches to the stereo mix can be made in Reaper. Question: Should I record all the...

bump? Maybe

Look around and find office supply contractors - ask about used office partitions. Most are made of OC, already covered with acoustically transparent fireproof cloth - do a little shopping, you may get all you want for little or nothing. Do give it the knuckle test though, as 'some'...

I'm looking for a digital recorder to bring along to live performances. Would need atleast 4 ins, 4 outs (so I can mix back home in the studio) - pref 24 bit - be portable, lightweight, and tough enough to survive gigin'. Any ideas? Thanks, G :)

Thanks gang. So, since I still have not located a good analog tech in my region, and I have other folks in my area watching this situation, and e-mailing me as to whether or not I recommend 'Service center X', makes me think all the more about learning to DIY. Is there any good, easy for a...

Well, I decided today, if I am to keep recording to tape, I had better put "basic service, alignment, and calibration of analog tape recorders" on my "to learn" list. Yes, I still can't believe they ever sent it home like that with me the first time :eek: :mad: :confused: Thanks so much for...
